Real Madrid may have lost the UEFA Super Cup to bitter rivals Atletico, but they've been absolutely flawless ever since.

The Champions League holders made it three wins from three La Liga games on Saturday night as they beat Leganes 4-1 at the Bernabeu.

Guido Carrillo's penalty cancelled out Gareth Bale's opener, but second-half goals from Karim Benzema (two) and Sergio Ramos keep Real top of the table.

Before the match, there was a special presentation to celebrate the three current Madrid players who won awards at the UEFA gala on Thursday evening.

Fans inside the Bernabeu gave Luka Modric a particularly great reception and produced a chant which their all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo is guaranteed to dislike.

Modric and co. present UEFA awards

Los Blancos enjoyed a clean sweep as far as the 2017-18 UEFA ceremony was concerned, with Modric winning the coveted Men's Best Player award.

The classy maestro also lifted the Midfielder of the Season prize, with Keylor Navas, Ramos and Ronaldo earning the goalkeeper, defender and forward awards respectively.

Modric was the last of the trio to show off his awards, and when he did so, Madridistas at the Bernabeu loudly applauded before directing a chant at him.

What Real fans chanted about Modric

Per Spanish outlet Marca, Real supporters sang "Lukita, Ballon d'Or", indicating they want the 32-year-old to win the prestigious honour for 2018 ahead of Cristiano.

In fact, they feel so strongly about the matter that the chant actually lasted right up until the moment the match with Leganes kicked-off.

Modric to win 2018 Ballon d'Or?

Cristiano scored 15 goals in just 13 Champions League games to help Real retain the trophy but he's now at Juventus and their fans seem to have a new Ballon d'Or favourite.

Modric has had a massive influence for both club and country this year as he guided the Croats all the way to a historic World Cup final in Russia.

The Croatia captain is a serious contender to win the next Ballon d'Or, along with Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, who's won the last two.

Other players in with a shout include Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah, but only time will tell which star comes out on top.
